Testimonial

I am writing this on behalf of the Armenian Association for Academic Partnership and Support to express our gratitutde to the founder of 10resources yahoogroup, Radu Iliescu. Such an academic informational group being unique in the web provides the subscribers with full information on educational and academic opportunities possible worldwide.

The main advantage of this group is that it covers all the fields of Academia - social sciences and humanities, exact science, natural sciences and etc. All the announcements are well organised and easy to read.

Many scholars and students from Armenia have already applied to programmes spread by Radu. We all wish him continuity in his useful and productive work. Thanks.

The object of this blog is to provide valuable solutions for students and young researchers; disseminate additional knowledge, skills and attitudes that are useful in their youth work; communicate within the academic community of scholars, professionals and students from all branches. We share information about scholarships, grants, conferences, study abroad opportunities, exchange and professional training programs and internships all over the world.
